And what they shall haue wrought with their handes, they shall bring to the chapter before all the other Religious, deliuering the same to the Abbesse or to her vicaresse. The same shall likewise be done touching all the almes that shalbe sent to the monastery, by whome soeuer, that some prayers be offered in common, for such benesactours: and then such thinges shalbe distributed accor∣ding to the common necessitie, by the Abbesse or her vicaresse, with the consent of the discreet or Counsailers of the Abbesse.
